Revelation 1
1 This is the revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John.
这是上帝赐予耶稣基督的启示，是为了向他的仆人们展示即将发生的事情。上帝派天使向其仆人约翰
2 John testified about the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, all the things that he saw.
做出这一显示，约翰证实了他所看到的、关于上帝之道和耶稣基督见证的一切。
3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud this prophecy, and those who listen to the words of this prophecy and who obey what is written in it, because the time is near.
能读到这启示之人有福了， 还有那些听见这预言、专注于所写内容之人，都有福了！因为那个时间将至。
4 John, to the seven churches in Asia: May grace be to you and peace from the one who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne,
这封信来自约翰，写给亚西亚的七个教会。愿那位过去、现在和未来都会到来的那一位，还有他宝座前的七灵，
5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To the one who loves us and has released us from our sins by his blood—
以及那值得信赖的见证人、从死亡中首次诞生的、人间众君王的统治者耶稣基督，赐予你们恩典和平安。至爱我们的耶稣，用自己的血把我们从我们的罪中释放出来，
6 he has made us a kingdom, priests for his God and Father—to him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
又让我们成为他的国，作他父上帝的祭司。愿荣耀和权能都归给耶稣，直到永远。阿门。 (aiōn g165)
7 Look, he is coming with the clouds; every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him. Yes, Amen.
看，他在云朵围绕中来临，每个人都应看见他，包括那些杀死他的人。地上的所有人都因他而哭泣。但愿如此！阿门。
8 “I am the alpha and the omega,” says the Lord God, “the one who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”
那过去、现在和以后都会来的全能主上帝说：“我是始也是终，”
9 I, John—your brother and the one who shares with you in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are in Jesus—was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony about Jesus.
我是约翰，你们的兄弟，在耶稣中与你们共同痛苦，分享这个国，一起忍耐。为了分享上帝的道以及耶稣显化的真理，我被关在一个叫做拔摩的海岛上。
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day. I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet.
在一个主日， 我被灵注满，听见在我后边发出很大的声音，像是号角，
11 It said, “Write what you see in a book, and send it to the seven churches—to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamum, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
那声音告诉我：“把你所看到的写成书，寄给七个教会：以弗所、士每拿、别迦摩、推雅推拉、撒狄、非拉铁非和老底嘉。”
12 I turned around to see whose voice was speaking to me, and as I turned I saw seven golden lampstands.
我转过身，想去看看是谁；转过身，看见七个金灯台。
13 In the middle of the lampstands there was one like a son of man, wearing a long robe that reached down to his feet and a golden sash around his chest.
灯台中间好像有一个人，看起来像是人子，身上穿着直垂双脚的长袍，胸间束着金带。
14 His head and hair were as white as wool—as white as snow—and his eyes were like a flame of fire.
他的头发像白羊毛、双眼好似燃烧的火焰。
15 His feet were like polished bronze, like bronze that had been refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many rushing waters.
他的双脚好像在活炉中炼过的亮光铜，声音好似震耳欲聋的瀑布。
16 He had seven stars in his right hand, and a sword with two sharp edges was coming out of his mouth. His face was shining like the sun at its strongest.
他的右手拿着七颗星星，口中吐出双刃利剑，面孔发光，好似最亮的烈日。
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He placed his right hand on me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the first and the last,
我看到他便扑倒在他脚前，如死了一般。但他用右手按我并说：“不要怕！我是最初，我是最后，
19 Therefore write down what you have seen, what is now, and what will take place after this.
所以，把你所看见、正在发生和未来将要发生的事情，都写下来。
20 As for the hidden meaning about the seven stars you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.”
你看我右手的七星和七个金灯台, 它的含义就是：七星是四个教会的七位天使，七个灯台就是七个教会。”
